Looks certainly are a determinant of one’s personality. How one appears creates the first and
most favorable impression. This makes it all the more important to look one’s best.
Some people are gifted with natural good looks while some are not. For those who are not, there
is no reason to despair. Cosmetic or plastic surgery has come to the rescue for all those people
who want to enhance or alter their existing looks, be it their body or any particular facial feature,
liposuction being just one popular procedure.
Cosmetic surgery or plastic surgery as it is more commonly known includes a wide range of
services in its view catering to each and every body part. Depending on which part of the body
needs to be altered, different surgical procedures have been devised. Some of these are arm and
thigh lifts, face and neck lifts, augmentations, eyelid and ear correction, breast augmentation,
breast reduction, wrinkle removal through laser, BOTOX, injectible fillers, various skin treatments
to improve skin quality, etc. Surgical procedures should be carried out by experienced surgeons
certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
Though cosmetic surgery has gained immense popularity, liposuction is one of the most popular
procedures. Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty or suction lipectomy helps to get rid of
unwanted bulges and ugly contours on any part of the body. The fat cells are permanently
removed from the body with the help of fine tubes or cannulas that are inserted under the skin
under high pressure causing the fat to liquefy. Certain bulges known as ‘lovehandles’or
‘saddlebags’ are very stubborn and are difficult to get rid of even with a rigorous exercise and diet
regime. This is where liposuction is helpful.
Liposuction help in achieve a pleasing and attractive body contour and can be done on the arms,
thighs, hips, chin, waist, abdomen, chest, knees and any other part of the body that is exposed.
The procedure is extremely effective and results are visible almost instantly. Though the process
is carried out after administration of anesthesia, one can ressume normal activities after a few
days. Anesthesia is given to minimize discomfort and blood loss. There are different techniques
for liposuction - for example the tumescent and the wet technique. In these techniques,
anesthesia is usually intravenous sedation and involves injection of a saline solution in the areas
with fat deposits. Blood vessel constrictors are also used to minimize pain and blood loss along
with anesthesia.
Another technique of liposuction utilizes ultrasonic energy to liquefy the fat deposits before it is
extracted. This method is more effective for fibrous or scarred areas. There are many centers that
offer liposuction services, however it is recommended that one goes to a reputable surgeon.
Every case is assessed on an individual basis and the treatment varies depending on the area,
age, sex, and medical conditions. After the fat is removed, the last step in the process is the
usage of a compression garment to reduce swelling and to help recontour the skin in the affected
area so it can regain its look and suppleness.
